My contrary belief: A machine will draw a circle better than a human 100% of
the time. It's a matter of telling it how.

A machine may draw a more geometrically perfect circle, but if I were to hang the drawing on my wall, I'd much rather have one made by Mirò than by a
machine. Same with notation.

Following this line of reasoning, you'll end up that it's better
to have scores written by hand (as a really unique artisanal
creation)...

Also, a machine can be told to not draw a perfect circle, to fool
you into thinking that was not drawn by machine. ;-)
